Tapestry Making Web Development a Breeze?

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on from the yet-another-web-dev-tool dept.

An anonymous reader writes "IBM DeveloperWorks has an interesting article on how to simplify your Web-based development with Tapestry, an open-source, Java-based framework that makes developing a breeze. The article shows you around Tapestry, from installation to file structure. See for yourself how Tapestry facilitates servlet-based Web application development using HTML and template tags."

  1. Thank God I Learned Java/Eclipse by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    Looks like I made the right decision to go the Java/Eclipse/open source route a couple years ago instead of sticking with Microsoft stuff.

    It seems like every week I read about something like this where I'd be screwed if I was still locked into Windows only technologies.

    It was a tough decision at the time since going with Microsoft technologies was always the obvious choice back in the 90s and that fact/bias is difficult to remove after so many years of being true.

  3. Easy web development with Java? by Praetorian42 · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    Yeah right. Any framework that pretends to be "easy" but doesn't even do basic things like include dependencies is obviously not going to be easy to develop in. Plus, it's Java, and trying to do agile web development with an inherently unagile language is going to cause you a lot of pain.

    Obviously, I'm a Rails fanatic.

    Real Men don't code HTML. Real Men don't write web pages. Documents are for secretaries not programmers.
